“We found the cottage ideal for our stay, well fitted out, the garden was lovely, walks were on the doorstep all in all a very restful place.”

Highly recommended

Jonathan August 2024

“The Water Barn was lovely, clean and well equipped, and on the edge of woodlands with access to many walks for those wishing to explore or venture out.”

We stayed for a week, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (2 adults and a 5 year old). We used as a base to explore local towns and the coast, which meant driving down narrow country lanes daily - this didn’t bother us - but for those less confident in driving - just be prepared to drive with a little more care, and be prepared to reverse now and then.

- Jonathan, August 2024
Philip August 2024

“Lovely property in a quiet woodland setting with walks from the door.”

Great beamed open plan upper floor with lovely kitchen dining area and comfortable lounge area. Only criticism is that the ground floor felt damp, despite the heating on in the mornings to help with this. Friendly owner next door.

- Philip, August 2024
Laurence July 2024

“My wife and I and our little dog rented the property in what seems like the only decent week this summer.”

The garden being of mature, but well kept was a delight. Table chairs and sun shade provided, even though the garden slopes it was easy enough to find a couple of chocks to level up the table and enjoy sundowners every night What strikes one the most is how quiet it is, and secure, especially for the dog to roam in the garden. No need to burden yourself with cooking as at the end of the lane was a pub that served fantastic food and beer, even asking them for things not listed on the menu was not a problem.

- Laurence, July 2024
Ekaterina July 2024

“The property is in a lovely location, perfect for dogs, woodlands right on the doorstep.”

Loved the open plan layout of the barn. Kitchen has got everything you need. We enjoyed plenty of walks in the area. The only thing we were missing was the shop in the village, the nearest one being around 15 minutes drive away, but not a big issue when prepared. Would love to come back.

- Ekaterina, July 2024
Veronica May 2024

“Excellent dog friendly property.”

Location is perfect for dogs being able to walk in the woods from the back garden and perfect for a quiet relaxing holiday. Facilities were 5 star. Comfortable bed, spacious shower, all the facilities you need for a trouble free stay. Lovely host! Would highly recommend this cottage and its location.

- Veronica, May 2024

- Janet, April 2024
Caroline April 2024

“A lovely place to stay.”

It was great to be able to walk out into the woods or up on the moor. The cottage was always cosy and homely to come back to. Friendly owner next door and lovely pub round the corner. We were very comfortable here and would recommend this place.

- Caroline, April 2024
Andrew March 2024

“Wonderful property!”

The love put into restoring and furnishing it really shows - lovely period furniture and every home comfort! So many stunning walks from the door - we barely scratched the surface in a week. The info provided by the owners (walk leaflets etc) were really helpful too. Highly recommended.

- Andrew, March 2024
Joe February 2024

“Fantastic stay.”

Plenty of beautiful walks in the surrounding area. Our favourite was Hound Tor and the abandoned medieval village which is right on the properties doorstep. The property was well kitted out, very clean, full of character and a perfect cozy base to explore from. Anne was a fantastic host and we hope to return!

- Joe, February 2024

- Andrea, November 2023
Krystelle November 2023

“The cottage is absolutely beautiful and spotless, in the lovely town of manaton, right next to Dartmoor national park, the host Ann is lovely and has made sure that there is everything you could possibly need, from a fully stocked kitchen to all the household items, even caters for you pets, with bowls and towels, there's a massive enclosed beautiful garden for your dogs to safely explore, the traditional log burner fire is such a cozy touch.”

There are lovely walks all around Dartmoor, a lovely local pub, and towns and days out just half an hour drive away. We can't wait to book again for our next holiday.

Sara July 2023

“Wonderful week at the Water Barn, everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, absolute peace and quiet.”

Spoilt for beautiful walks from your door. We’ve stayed in a good few holiday cottages and this has been our favourite, I think our pooch felt the same. Recommend the friendly Kestor Inn for food.

- Sara, July 2023
Gareth June 2023

“We loved our week away here with our two fox Red Labradors.”

Lovely enclosed garden which gates straight onto the forest moors. The Cottage was very comfortable and a perfect base to explore South Devon. We enjoyed it so much that we booked for next year before we left.

- Michael Anthony, June 2023
Stephen May 2023

“Our second visit - different weather (!”

) but just as lovely. The cottage is a lovely base to return to after a wet walk, very cosy and comfortable. It is well situated with lovely walls from the doorstep. Ann is a perfect host - helpful when you want it but leaving us to get on with things. Thoughtful things are left in the house (firefighter/dishwasher pills etc). We hope to be back for a third stay. Thank you Ann.

“Beautiful cottage in a stunning landscape.”

Wonderful stay for one week. Ann (owner) was very helpful during our time there. Couldn't believe the peace and quiet. Would definitely stay again

- Andy, August 2022
Nick July 2022

“Lovely quiet place to stay.”

Well-equipped with everything one needs for a week away. Lovely quiet garden. Didn't hear a sound all week except for when the sheep were headed right past the front door! Walks from the door into the woods and out to the moors. Note if you're bringing a dog - it's great dog-walking county with very few stiles (we only came across one) but do make sure your dog's tick meds are up to date (or they have a tick collar) - we pulled >10 ticks off our dog every day (in July), though thankfully none latched on to us. This is definitely tick country.

- Nick, July 2022
David July 2022

“Lovely place and great to be able to just walk out into the ancient woodland through the garden gate.”

Our dog thought the garden was great. The barn was clean, comfortable and everything we could have needed for our short stay was there. Would we go back?.....absolutely.

- David, July 2022
James July 2022

“This is great cottage in a great area.”

Andrew December 2021

“Second visit.”

Hope we can come again. The owner Ann is lovely, very welcoming and helpful. The location of the cottage is perfect, on the edge of the woods of Lustleigh Cleave, with the open moors in the other direction, and a pub with good food almost next door. What more could you ask? Andrew and Felicity

- Andrew, December 2021
Jane November 2021

“The Water Barn provided everything for an enjoyable and relaxing stay.”

From a store of wood, kitchen equipment, ( including knives that work) to a supply of maps and information nothing was lacking. Being able to walk into the woods and onto the moor from the barn was a delight. We had fabulous autumnal weather so the colours were stunning. A quick amble to the friendly local for a drink,, a longer trek to Lustleigh and farm shops at Ullacombe provided culinary delights.

- Jane, November 2021
Heather November 2021

“We had a wonderful week at Water Barn.”

Ann was completely unobtrusive and left us to ourselves. The barn was clean and exceptionally well equipped. There are wonderful walks straight from the door and pub is only a few metres from the door. You could actually spend the whole week without using the car but great places such as Bovey Tracey, Widdecombe, Haytor, Hound Tor and Lustleigh are all within very easy reach (20 mins at most). My one minor gripe is that it would have been better if the beautiful garden had been completely separate from the owners as we worried about our dog trespassing into their area. All in all, a beautiful barn and a fabulous area that I would recommend to anyone.

- Heather, November 2021
Lucy October 2021

“Beautiful and cosy stay in a lovely cottage.”

Had everything we needed. Good kitchen facilities, lovely bedding and good info leaflets and walks. Lovely and clean when we arrived. Windows are amazing as you can’t hear the water at all! We would love to return one day. For other visitors: we’d recommend the cleave inn, ullacombe farm shop and the butchers there, canonteign and Becky waterfalls, cheese shed/butchers/bakery and greengrocers in bovey. Kestor good for a local drink.

- Lucy, October 2021
Veronique October 2021

“Stunning property in a beautiful location.”

The walk were stunning. The Keaton Inn pub a few minutes walk away was outstanding. Highly recommended.

- Veronique, October 2021

- Sarah, September 2021
Gwenda July 2021

“We have been hiring holiday cottages for over 30 years and this barn is the best one we have ever stayed in.”

Beautiful location,everything we needed and so much more. Excellent dog friendly pub just a 5 min walk down a country lane. Now that we are home, we miss the pretty garden and the sound of the water wheel. The icing on the cake - a delightful owner. Thanks so much Ann , we hope to see you again.

“Water barn is an idyllic holiday home.”

The location is beautiful, surrounded by dramatic woodland. The owners were brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for anymore. The kitchen has excellent facilities if you like to cook and a very homely feel. It’s an amazing place if you have a dog and the house was spotless. I hope we can return.

- Jessica, October 2020
Helen September 2020

“Water Barn was warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean.”

We immediately felt at home. There were beautiful walks from the front door without the necessity to drive anywhere. Alternatively there were plenty of places to visit within 40 minutes to an hour away. A really lovely pub just 5 minutes walk away and the food was absolutely delicious. Also a Co-op and M&S food store at two local filling stations just 10 minutes drive. Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday

- Helen, September 2020
Andrew July 2020

- Andrew, July 2020
Terry March 2020

“The Water Barn was a super place to stay.”

It is delightfully decorated and furnished and very well equipped. We hope to stay again when we look forward to visiting more places of interest. Due to the developing Coronavirus situation we just stayed on the moor. We were lucky; a week later and I doubt we would have gone. Hard though to think of a finer spot for social distancing and our dog loved all the walks we did straight from the door.

“The owner of the property, Ann, was extremely friendly and helpful.”

She really has gone out of her way to provide very comfortable holiday accommodation. The location is quite magical and we are lucky that she shares it with so many others. It was a beautiful and tranquil place to spend a holiday. We save all year just to be able to have a one week holiday and this was pure heaven : ) I don't mind you publishing my feedback providing it doesn't use my full name (no surnames). Thank you

Friendly and helpful owner. Only drawbacks: A bit chilly downstairs despite heating due to position of bedrooms on the ground floor. Mostly very clean but bathroom floor / skirting boards / beams need attention.

“Cottage was beautiful and is booked for absolute peace and tranquillity, ...”

Cottage was beautiful and is booked for absolute peace and tranquillity, unfortunately ruins by the owner arranging for a strange work then to be in my garden for a two solid days with a blowtorch and power drill repairing have water mail arrived when myself and my friend were in our pyjamas and was therefore two solid days absolutely ruined our holiday and we came home early Sykes sort it out the complaint satisfactorily but unfortunately this only needs to realise when her cottages rented she should not have access and disturb pwoplw And certainly should not be so disrespectful as to do everything without even asking if it’s okay

Stairs (stairgates) down via half-landing (half-glazed door to garden) to hall, front door and two very pretty bedrooms - a king size double, and a twin; bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

A tranquil escape. Manaton: pretty little village (pub with small shop, tennis court, playground, church) in a beautiful part of Dartmoor, and close to spectacular rock tors (Hound Tor, Bowerman’s Nose) and lovely tree-filled valleys (Lustleigh Cleave).

Golf driving range, 5 miles.
